This is the advanced version of the ever popular hub Fix It 101. if this hub seems a bit advanced, you'll want to read that hub. Still the ideas are the same, there is no traffic to many of your published hubs and the panic button in your mind has been hit about a million times. You aren't writing as well or worst if you want to make money it's not coming in fast.
Traffic on the Internet is a fickle beast at best, newer and more interesting things will come to the surface, and you hub will drop, but still it is painful. You worked hard to write it, to publish it, to get traffic, to get on search engines and then nothing. There are some ways to fix it, but still hub traffic does come and go (just like money!)
Hubpages is like that as well, here today just another hubber tomorrow, so you panic you sit in front of the computer, you join the forums and still nothing. I hate to say but forums won't help you in the least. And they are addictive. If you aren't publishing hubs, you aren't going to get traffic.
Forums don't get traffic. They don't, and they never have, I know that goes against the grain but seriously, Raise your hands people how long are you on a forum once you are there? Do you go and visit other hubs because they are on a forum? They don't. everyone tends to read a hub and then comment but of course getting them back... well that's another story.
The ONLY way to fix a hub and get traffic is to work on hubs and write on others hubs. End of Story.
Traffic Come in Cycles... However: Yes I know traffic comes in cycles and we should be careful to recognize this, but at a point in time it drives on nuts. You can't get traffic from either hubpages or from other sources. I like to look at the traffic cycles on each hub before making a judgment to fix a hub.
I try to find where the most traffic comes from is it hubpages? is it search engine traffic? social networking traffic? Traffic via google?
For example: if you know that the traffic from a hub comes mainly from hubpages, then this cycle will be based on hub scores and promotions of hubs. Properly done, and people will go through your hubs and read them. Not done well and you will find traffic spikes (this is not a bad thing mind you!) and long times when no one reads the hub, or comments or whatever. Remember that older hubs don't get as much traffic, but it might be steady.
To fix this and make some in roads begin adding back links between your hubs, and add your hubs to your blogs and websites. Also add some of your favorite hubs to your profile, yes people do look at your profile. The most important is traffic is based on keywords, or on hubpages tags.
This tags are important, so take some time on your computer and analyse what is the best keywords for your hubs. This is basic SEO and most likely won't make you money but will possibly get some traffic. At some point traffic will make you something in terms of money. So focus on a good hub.

I think the biggest question that most new hubbers ask is how does my hub score work for or against me? I think the better question is how can I make a hub that will get both traffic and, some good comments.... - Yes Hub Scores Counts, But Then Again:This is a fine line one, see if you have a high hub score (not your personal hub score) then chances are you'll have one of your hub featured on the front page of hubpages. I'd guess that this score is probably in the 90s but don't quote me on that!I need to say this: For the love of everything good and right DO NOT EVERwrite a hub like text message. Never! there is no such thing and "u" or "ur" or anything like that in a hub. I personally hate reading hubs like that. Often you'll see that by fixing your hub to make it readable in the non texting language, people will spend more time on your hubs and you will have more traffic. Please do this. Thank-you for reading and for understanding that part. (Please notice how I did this.)If your hub scores are less than say 60 traffic may come to you but it will not last. If you need a good editor, ask for one. I have several people who are willing to help me, Tony mac04 and Wayne Ansell, who are both awesome writers and editors. Listen to what people say on your hub, and I'd go farther and suggest respond to them as often as you can.Still Traffic might be dying or non-existent, so what to do?edit, lengthenrewrite, look at the comments and content, and comment to other hubs. This will add a link to your profile on your name, and someone is bound to get curious and click on your name and look at your profile, which by the way has all your hubs on it somewhere.BackLinks and Other Things to Improve Your Traffic: Understand Something about Backlinks. These are also known as links. These are very simple to do, and because of this people tend to not use them.Essentially this is one simple and important way to get traffic between your hubs and blogs. If you add a link to a hub of yours from a newer or a hub which has better traffic you'll get more traffic between hubs.What does this mean to you?Well, more traffic means more comments which means more fans (hopefully) and sometimes more clicks to make you money. This is all done by linking.
What else does linking do for you?By adding a link it means that google will "see" your hub sooner. It's a simple way to promote your hub on search engines such as google. Beware of one thing, people (and google) will read good content, but if it's all links google (and people) doesn't like that either.So off to work in fixing those hubs, good luck and to your publishing success.
